THE POSTAL SQUARE
Postal Square is one of the most ancient squares in Kyiv. Archeologists found the IV century
settlements here. During the Kyivan Rus times here probably was one of the eight market squares, which are written in chronicles about. It was named after Post Station where people were working with the correspondence and where the horses of the postal employees were taken care of. To this day only the classicism station building has been preserved from the
Post-Diligence complex. Now it is the exhibition of "Ancient Kyiv" here.
